Charlie Hebdo

My condolences to the staff, relatives and friends of those cartoonists and writers of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo who were gunned down by brutal Muslim nutters in Paris this morning. The thugs claimed to belong to al-Qaeda and were heard shouting "We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad" and "Allahu Akbar" (God is great). Shown is the last tweet from the magazine just before the attack. It's an ironic New Year greeting to ISIS murderer Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, to which he replies "And especially good health." Muslims live in a medieval time warp in which everything has been decided till the end of days and life is cheap. Murder, torture, rape, enslavement, paedophilia; these are the actions of the ISIS heroes of Islam. The manhunt for the killers continues (CLICK).
